[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It sounds like you have a lifelong eating disorder. They are not for everyone. [/quote]

Are you naturally slim? You can exit the conversation. It's not disordered to be the person that has spent many years on diets and is still overweight or at an ideal weight but the maintenance is exhausting. [/quote]

Exactly. And just because you're not overweight doesn't mean it's not a mighty struggle to stay that way. As I said, look at the thousands upon thousands of posts here on this discussion board about how to stay thin, how to resist cravings, how to burn calories, track calories, how to muster up willpower. It's freaking exhausting and consuming for so many women. These meds are such a gift, as Oprah once said. I watched her special about GLP-1s and she marveled something like, "All these years, I thought you thin people had more willpower than I did. But now I realize, ya'll just weren't thinking about FOOD!"

But that's SO not true for me. I feel like I have been warring just as hard as anyone all these years to monitor my weight, and now, on these meds, I feel FREE for the very first time in adult life. I am so excited about their impact on my life. I feel so optimistic and excited about a future without always berating myself about food, thinking about food and what I will/should eat...and just eating for nourishment rather than to satisfy intense and unhealthy cravings.[/quote]
